1. A system for use with a breastfeeding child, the system comprising:
a wearable device configured to be positioned adjacent to and/or in contact with a breast of a wearer during breastfeeding and to allow human milk from the breast to pass through the wearable device to the breastfeeding child;
a fluid source having a first housing configured to hold a fluid;
an agent source having a second housing separate from and outside of the first housing and fluidly coupled to the first housing to receive the fluid from the fluid source, wherein the second housing is flexible, and comprises an outlet and a port separate from the outlet;
an agent in solid form configured to be positioned within the second housing through the port, wherein the second housing is configured to be squeezed by the wearer to directly disintegrate the agent within the second housing and mix the agent with the fluid within the second housing to form a fluid-agent mixture within the second housing; and
a connector coupling the wearable device to the fluid source and the outlet of the second housing, wherein the connector is configured to receive a flow of the fluid-agent mixture, and wherein the wearable device is further configured to allow the flow of the fluid-agent mixture to pass through the wearable device to the breastfeeding child.
